🌍 My Carbon Footprint: What I’m Doing, What I’m Learning, and Why It’s Not Always Easy

Aiming for a zero‑waste lifestyle sounds simple in theory — but in reality, it’s incredibly challenging. Even with the best intentions, I still struggle to source everything I need without plastic, and some “eco‑friendly” items arrive after travelling halfway around the world. Add disability, health limitations, and a reduced income (hello, 2020), and the journey becomes even more complicated.

Celebrating Earth Month: Small Steps for Big Impact

Every April, Earth Month invites us to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the planet that carries us — windswept beaches, mossy forests, bustling cities, and all.
